Yeah, I only answered 1,4,9 and 10. I think I have all 4, unless I've misunderstood the question. I couldn't even take guesses at the ones I didn't know, such is my knowledge of darts Posted Image

And that was not a good start, losing the Doctor at this stage of the game is pretty catastrophic, the Mafia will be creaming themselves after that kill. Particularly when the Doctor is as skilful a player as Forehead is.

5 maybe if the judges are generous (4 and one half with another half I'm still not sure of even after Googling).

Quite like darts so having a go this week. Not sure how good/bad I'll do though. Questions 2, 3,5, 6 and 8 I'm not too sure of. Be happy with 7/10.

I'm about 50% sure of number 4, about 70% on number 6 and for number 8, I knew one of them and the initials for the second one but didn't know what they actually stood for. I'm fairly sure my assumption on it is about the only one that makes sense, though. The rest - well I'm of an age to remember 2, 5 and 7 so they were OK. 1, 3 and 10 I knew and 9 was easy enough to work out (I hope).

I should have at least 7.5, hopefully a bit more.

Decent round for me. I think I've 6 or 7 right. No idea what darts is in French or the name of the song.

Am I the only one that put a totally unfunny, cliched answer for the French term for darts?

I guess you will need to wait until the answers have been given.:rolleyes:

I think my answer was cliched in that it was a word which reasonably one might think the French could use but I would only give it about a 20% chance, another, similar, answer I thought of was equally cliched and again only I would guess about a 20% chance.

I suppose if you don't know it, you don't know it but there is a reasonably nice wee logical route to the answer.

Not my strongest round but I answered every question.

I think I've probably put the same answer as you.

Round 4 Scores & Leaderboard

A mixed bag of scores in this round, with the darts fans scoring highly and most others doing fairly poorly.

Attached File  Scores.html (27.37K)
Number of downloads: 77

Nkomo-A-Gogo's score has been calculated by working out the mean of his scores for the other rounds and adding this to his total. If his mean increases/decreases over the next few rounds, then his notional score for this round will increase/decrease too.

If anyone else has any ideas for guest rounds, please send them to me and I'll use them at some point.

Pleased with 5.5 TBH.
It's getting kind of hard to believe things are going to get better. I've been drowning too long to believe that the tide is going to turn. And I've been living too hard to believe things are going to get easier now. I'm still trying to shake off the pain from the lessons I've learned. And if I see Van Helsing, I swear to the lord I will slay him. AHA HA HA. He take you from me but I swear I won't let it be so. AHA HA HA. Blood, will run done his face, when he is decapitated AH! His head on my mantle is how I will let this world know...how much I love you.
